UFC Fight Night 47 takes place Aug. 16 at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. The bulk of the card is expected to air on FOX Sports 1 following a few prelims on UFC Fight Pass. Tickets for the event currently are on sale.

Tavares has fought four straight times in his native Brazil at lightweight, going 3-1 in those bouts. The lone loss was a knockout at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov – but after that fight in January 2013, Tavares tested positive for a banned steroid and was suspended for nine months. He returned this past November and choked out Justin Salas in the first round, though.

Peralta will be looking to extend his winning streak to three fights. Three weeks ago, he upset home-country favorite Rony Jason at the TUF Brazil 3 Finale in Sao Paulo, taking a split decision. That piggy-backed on his knockout win over Estevan Payan this past December. Like Tavares, Peralta also has a recent suspension for a failed drug test on his resume. He tested positive for marijuana after his loss to Akira Corassani in April 2013 and was suspended for six months. That setback was his only one since July 2009.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
